Things did not get better for Casey, as he kept taking punishment for the last three minutes of the round. He was dropped with under a minute left in the fight and was intelligently defending himself for some time, but could not withstand the pressure. The fight was stopped at 4:56 of the second round.

Alvey, always willing to put on a show during post-fight interviews, asked to be put on the UFC 204 card with teammate Dan Henderson. Though he himself is a middleweight, he also was open to the idea of taking on any light heavyweight who would want the fight.

Whether he gets the fight in Manchester or not, Alvey will be happy with his performance tonight. As always, Alvey will be all smiles.
